Dermal Fillers
Soften Signs of Aging
Dermal fillers are safe injectable products that replace lost soft tissue, and are used to replenish the skin’s natural volume. They are often used to soften signs of aging, for example the smile lines (as seen on photos below), or to enhance the lips, the cheeks, or chin.
How long does it take?
After application of a local anaesthetic cream, the procedure is practically painless, and takes less than 45 minutes.

Results are immediate. Patients might experience some slight swelling or redness, but this disappears in a day or two.
